Scream Factory Blu-ray Discussion Thread

[kngtmat]

I would really like Stay Tuned so maybe Shout can get that one. Count me in for Freejack as well.

[deltatauhobbit]

Definitely put me in for Stay Tuned, I've always liked that movie.

I'd prefer a Young Guns 1/2 double feature, since the Lionsgate release of the original was crap.

Oh my, I'd be all over Pacific Heights if the MC catalog is making the rounds!

In all honesty, I don't hate double features, there are people out there that would like their collection to be compact or just like to get a "more for your buck" deal.

Me, personally, I would rather have a single film version disc, because in my mind I feel each film was made singly on its own by a group of artist. And I feel it diminishes their hard work.

I see the "only available as a double feature" a down grade from a DVD.

I understand the economic aspect of releasing films as doubles, but I much rather a company put them out as both, a single release and as a double to accommodate the consumers.

I love the Young Guns films, I would love Collector's Editions of each to be released by Shout!

Get Emilio to be part of the special features, he can take time off from running his winery!

But I do think part 1 its still @ Lionsgate (I think it was a "One off" deal with Fox (Theatrical) & Vestron (Home Video))

Yeah, that one's worth watching simply because Michael Keaton played such an awesome psycho. I want that as well as "White Sands", "Enemies, A Love Story" and "Dead Ringers", but I agree with everyone on here saying that one's probably going to be a Criterion release. Which is more than OK with me.

If only Morgan Creek owned the Jaws sequel rights

[JackForrester]

Exorcist III (DC obviously) and Pacific Heights would be day 1 for me.

"Pacific Heights" cracks me up. Keaton moves in and just starts drilling through the walls. And there's the dude who answers the door to Keaton's apartment every time Matthew Modine knocks. Also, the part when Modine and Keaton go crashing through the glass in the door is hilarious.

well, this was never considered a good movie critically or commercially...

a mildly entertaining potboiler is the best I can come up with....

True. They made a lot of those kind of films in the early to mid 90s. A psychopath comes into a family's life and makes it a living hell. "Unlawful Entry", "Malice", etc. Or "Hider in the House" with Gary Busey. "Pacific Heights" is okay, but Keaton's not in it enough. He maybe has 20 total minutes of screentime. Fairly entertaining movie though.

And double features are way better than single releases.

Please...as many DOUBLE FEATURES as possible.

Double features are automatic buys.

And, highly likely that the majority of them are now with Shout/Scream.

The Exorcist III: DC and Bad Moon are no brainers. Dead Ringers also, if it hasn't been picked up already by another label. See the willo's list above that contains some of the MC's key titles.

Also, the remastered True Romance and the Collector's Editions of Ace Ventura flicks could be a possibility for Shout Factory as well.

The Exorcist III and Enemies: A Love Story double feature would be awesome!

On the audio thing with The Crush: if this involves the renaming of Darian to Adrian, there's nothing Shout/Scream can do about it. Due to legal issues (the film's writer/director named the main character after an ex, which led her to sue for defamation and get a settlement from the director and Morgan Creek), the theatrical/VHS/laserdisc audio track can never be released on any other format so the main character will more than likely remain named Adrian.

As for Renegades, I believe Universal owns that one outright so a release wouldn't be much of a problem. And a personal suggestion from the Morgan Creek library would be The Whole Nine Yards. I'm really surprised this one isn't on Blu-ray.

Keaton's scenes made that movie. And actually, it took some balls on his part to accept the role, seeing that the movie he made prior to that was "Batman". He could've played it safe, doing another comedy (like "The Dream Team"), or another drama (like "Clean and Sober"), but instead he chose to go against type and play a psycho. And played him well.

Another good "psychopath" movie from that era was "Single White Female" with Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. I figured all of these "psycho" movies of that time were studios wanting to emulate "Fatal Attraction".

Scream working with Morgan Creek again is great news. Bad Moon is one of my most wanted. It has to be the most underrated werewolf movie of all time. The wolf itself was scary and done very well for it's time. However, I will admit the transformation scene was absolutely horrible. Especially when you compare it to The Howling and An American Werewolf in London which came out 15 years earlier.

The Crush though? Bruh......

Not gonna lie I'm hyped for it though...but they're really stretching the bounds of the sub-label with this release.

I tend to agree... It wouldn't bother me so much if there weren't so many other more popular franchises/titles still without releases. But new announcements are new announcements, so at least we have something to talk about for the next day or two...
